<p>You need to do more homework. The only aid you’d get from SDSU is the Federal, and it doesn’t sound like you qualify for a Pell grant, so you’d get ZERO free money.</p>
<p>USD is a private school as is Chapman, and do not favor CA students. only the UCs and the CSUs do. It’s not that they’re stingy with aid, it’s that they give NONE to OOS students.</p>
<p>You need to put colleges that meet 100% of need on your list. Most are not as generous as Yale, but all give decent aid.</p>
